Yeah, so again, we're all getting it brother. Rural america is not cut from the same cloth as the city slickers. They'll just show up in the morgues before they show up in the hospitals. Seriously. I don't see anything here that concurs with your sentiment on shortages either, other than the hot spots we already know about.

Live in rural America..it’s planting season no ones stopping for a hack and a fever. Fortunately farmers in winter are probably best at social isolation.

It has nothing to do with what kind of cloth rural America is cut from. It has everything to do with how many doctors (particularly e.r. doctors) hospital beds, ICU beds and ventilators they have per capita as well as the distance from the average resident to one of those ICU beds, not to mention that resources on a macro level to do things like turn massive convention centers into impromptu emergency wards and anyone care to venture a guess on percentage of elderly.

Milli, however, does have a good point though on spacing, which will work in Rural America's favor.

Stories on this already emerging in Louisiana...people having to travel 100 miles to get treatment, etc. Like Josh said though, they live more spread out, but have fewer places to shop, so when everyone goes to the same 3-4 places repeatedly...

If we are all "getting it" you guys might as well hold a going away/thank God he's gone party for me. I only have about 35% lung capacity now so there's no hope at all if I get it.
I bet you fookers won't even save me any of the good booze!
